Vette as a tow truck?

Crosley.In.AZ · February 28, 2006, 09:34:40 PM

saw this on the local section of I- 10 in phoenix .... snapped a pic of it.

For some reason this just seems wrong useage of a late model corvette.

I was expecting a 70's Vette on a 1 ton chassis,with a big boom on back.

Actually, I think it's for when he breaks down. He can run the plastic car on the dolly, and tow it with a Ford or Dodge

I thought that's what rental cars were for?

It's the "Free Towing" clause in his discount roadside assistance agreement.

I have always been one to use "different" tow cars.
A couple years ago a Cobra Mustang and of late a model A.

A Holley Dominator it would be kool lookin. May loose some hp , but still look kool.

Some one has a new killer aluminum block and heads from the LS engine design..... I do not remember the name of the company.... senior moment
